They changed the dampers so most probably, but it might be subtle.Originally posted by Bonito View Post[CENTER][B]-=2014 GXL D4D Auto Graphite, Firestone Airbags, ARB/Optima D34 Dual Battery, ARB UVP, TJM Airtech Snorkel[/B][B]=-[/B]

Hi All,
First post
and I have a rather silly/embarrassing question, but I saw so many different models that I cant remember what I ended up getting 
I am picking up my VX tomorrow and now I am really confused about the difference between the uplifted 2012 model and the 2014 model.
So I paid $75K, the build Date is Sept 2013, Compliance date: Sept 13. The dealer said it was the "uplifted" version.
I am really hoping that is has the updated center console, the one that has the "apps" button.
Everything I am seeing on carsales shows the older style console, even though they say it is the "uplifted" model.
Can anyone verify which one it should be ?
I don't want to be "hood winked"
Kind Regards,
HemComment

Hi Hem. The updated (2014) model VX should have the updated console with apps etc. My VX was part of the first shipment of updated version and it has the updated console. Build and compliance plates 5th Sept 2013.

Hem,
When I bought mine in Jan 2013 the current model 150's at that time were mostly labelled 'facelift' or 'update' on Carsales, meaning the October 2011 update (which incorporated a handful of features as standard on the VX and Kakadu which were either not included previously or were part of an option pack). Following a quick Google search of articles relating to the latest '2014 facelift' these articles started appearing in August 2013, with at least one stating the facelifted version would be available 'from October 2013'. This seems to make it a close call as to which yours is from the info you have provided, though Ian's info above is encouraging! It would seem to be pretty unscrupulous of the dealer to quote 'uplifted' to you in 2014 (3-4 months after the latest facelift) if it were indeed the 2011 'uplift'! When did you place the order?
Cheers,
David.[SIZE=2][U]2012 150 Series D4D Kakadu[/U][/SIZE]

Thanks Ian and David,
Ian: I am hoping given the build date of your vehicle is the same is mine that I should expect it is the current console.
David: I read exactly the same article which is why I was not entirely sure which console to expect. I only ordered the car on Friday last week. In hindsight I should have done a lot more research
Thanks for your responses. I guess I will find out tomorrow either way .

I think you should be ok. I ordered mine in July for an August build. I was later told all new vehicles after August build would be update version so given a sept build plate for yours it is unlikely ones built in the first 4 days of sept would be old and mine on the 5th was update. Any date later should be update too
